Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 170 Fierce Battle
"We've finally arrived! I'm really curious, who's been plotting against me!"

Upon arriving here, Li Yunjing stopped and carefully regulated his breathing, while his mind raced, deducing all the possible scenarios.

What role did the young master actually play?
Is he targeting me, or is someone using me to target me?
As Li Yunjing's fame grew, so did his relationships.

Openly or secretly, he must have offended many people.

Among these people, Wei Henian was naturally the number one enemy, but not the only one.

With complicated relationships and entangled in karma, Li Yunjing is already in the world of cultivation, and some things are beyond his control.

Now, he also has no way of knowing who is behind him!

He took out the "Divine Thunderbolt" from his "Treasure Pouch" and put it in his pocket, ready to use it at any time!

In Li Yunjing's view, even if it was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he could fight them, so he was not afraid of them!

As Li Yunjing traversed the mountains, he concealed his presence to the extreme. He was already ten miles outside of "Mulberry Tree Village"!
This is already the limit of vigilance for cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Realm.

Given Li Yunjing's ability to conceal his aura, he was confident that even if he entered a range of three or four miles, no Qi Refining cultivator would be able to detect his whereabouts.

When Li Yunjing left "Mulberry Ridge", he suddenly smelled a faint scent of blood!

The faint smell of blood drifted away on the wind, coming from the "Mulberry Tree Village" ahead.

"It seems these people massacred the entire village to ambush me!"

Li Yunjing's expression was rather unpleasant.

As a cultivator, the thing he hates most is involving innocent mortals!

These people have violated his taboo!
Li Yunjing's divine sense had already detected that there were ten cultivators in the village!

The auras of these people were all at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Realm!
That's quite a grand gesture!

Such power was mobilized all at once, even reaching the level of a mid-level sect or family!

"Is that kid really that powerful?"

Li Yunjing pondered for a moment, feeling somewhat relieved. The middle-class family was quite powerful, with more than three Foundation Establishment cultivators!

But that's all there is to it!

Even Foundation Establishment cultivators aren't invincible!

Li Yunjing decided to give it a try and see what kind of bargaining chips the other side had prepared for him!
When Li Yunjing revealed himself and arrived outside the village, a sinister laugh echoed from within.

"Hehehe! Kid, I didn't expect you'd actually dare to come!"

Suddenly, all the lights in the village were turned on.

Candles, oil lamps, and torches illuminated the village in the darkness.

The sound of light footsteps could be heard, and with the help of the dim light, the surroundings were filled with the shadowy figures of cultivators.

Li Yunjing glanced at them and saw that there were as many as a hundred people!
"Not good! There's an array here that's blocking out our presence! So many enemies are hiding here!"

Li Yunjing was shocked; he really hadn't expected so many people to be lying in ambush here.

He scanned the area with his divine sense and felt slightly relieved. The cultivation levels of these people, especially the extra ones, were all between the sixth and eighth levels of the Qi Refining Realm. There were no experts at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm.

Although there are many of these cultivators, they may still be able to solve the problem.

"Li Yunjing! You slapped me three times before! I remember that grudge very clearly!"

Surrounded by the crowd, the rich young master who had been beaten up by Li Yunjing earlier walked out from the village entrance, holding a folding fan.

"Kid! You've got guts, putting on such a big show! Dare to tell me which family you belong to?"

Li Yunjing's face was grim, and he asked coldly.

"Hahaha! You want revenge later? I'm not telling you!"

The young man, who looked like a playboy, burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! This kid's gone mad! Did he think there was a future?"

Someone nearby laughed.

"Hahaha……"

Immediately, hundreds of people burst into laughter.

These people kept walking, left the village, and converged on Li Yunjing in a fan shape.

"Hehe! There are a lot of you, come and chase me if you dare!"

Li Yunjing wasn't stupid; he could tell that his opponent was not easy to deal with. The terrain here was open, and being surrounded and attacked was not a good place for a battle.

It's even possible that the other side has an array master; if they've set up an array here beforehand, it would be even more disadvantageous for them.

It would be better to retreat to "Mulberry Ridge" than to fight here.

The terrain there is complex, allowing one to maneuver within it and take advantage of the terrain to traverse through the mountains and forests.

With constant sneak attacks and assassinations, I might be able to kill them all before dawn!
Even at this moment, Li Yunjing remained full of confidence.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, before Li Yunjing had retreated ten zhang, three figures appeared abruptly in the direction of "Mulberry Tree Ridge".

Li Yunjing's plan was interrupted just as it began.

Three more people appeared in his path!

A middle-aged man in a black robe, a pretty young woman in red, and a thin man in hemp clothing!

The three of them possessed powerful auras; they were all Foundation Establishment cultivators!
"Alright! It seems you're not from the family! You accepted Wei Henian's mission?"

At this point, Li Yunjing understood everything.

It's impossible for an ordinary family to mobilize such a large force!

Among Li Yunjing's enemies, only Wei Henian has the ability to mobilize so many people!
"You found out too late!"

The man in black robes in the middle sneered, then sized up Li Yunjing again, and said, "To deal with you, all of us from the Thirteen Flying Eagles have come out! Tonight, you will surely die!"

"Boy, you're too arrogant! You had a chance to leave earlier, at least you could have shaken off most of the Qi Refining cultivators here, but you still thought of entering 'Mulberry Ridge' to fight a guerrilla war. I have to admire your courage!"

The thin man in hemp clothing approached, sneering repeatedly.

"Young friend, if you surrender, we can preserve your body and make your departure more comfortable."

The woman in red chuckled, her bright eyes scanning Li Yunjing up and down, as if trying to see what was so special about this pretty boy that would warrant a bounty of 30 low-grade spirit stones.

On the other side of the village, a young master-like man, along with nine cultivators at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Realm and over a hundred other cultivators, formed a fan shape and surrounded the village.

Surrounded from both sides, Li Yunjing would have no chance to escape even if he had wings!

"Thirteen Flying Eagles?"

He had naturally heard of this name before; this faction was recorded in the "Divine Night Jade Scroll".

However, the Thirteen Flying Eagles are not described in much detail, only appearing briefly in the text.

However, these people were able to be included in the "Divine Palace Jade Register," which meant they were already famous throughout the Ming Dynasty.

Li Yunjing remained sufficiently wary of these people.

However, there was no sign of worry on his face. Instead, he smiled contemptuously and said, "You actually dare to surround and kill inner disciples of the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'? Have you had enough of living?"

At this moment, Li Yunjing became even calmer.

"Bullshit! What's so great about your Divine Firmament Dao Sect?"

Beside the young master, a fat man, eyes wide with rage, roared and unleashed his full magical power. With a "crack," a whip lashed out from behind Li Yunjing, striking him!

Li Yunjing is constantly praised by the boss, to the point of being practically on cloud nine.

This made the fat man very dissatisfied, and he was the first to stand up and test Li Yunjing's skills!
This whip is no ordinary weapon either. Red light condensed at the tip of the whip, extending its attack range as it launched a sneak attack on Li Yunjing!

The speed was as fast as lightning; most people didn't even see it before they were being brutally whipped.

Li Yunjing sensed the sneak attack from behind without even turning around.

"court death!"

Li Yunjing sneered, but did not turn around, remaining on guard against the three Foundation Establishment cultivators.

With a flick of his wrist, he controlled the "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword" and slashed it backward.

The "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword" shone brightly with azure light, emitting a greenish glow in the night sky, constantly flickering like will-o'-the-wisps.

Within the azure light, a sharp glint, like a blade, slashed with all its might towards the edge of the whip!
"not good!"

The fat man seemed to recognize the magical weapon in Li Yunjing's hand. In order to avoid the weapon being destroyed, he quickly retreated and pulled back, causing the whip tip to fly back and escape from the attack range of the "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword".

"You fatso, you dodged really fast!" Seeing that his opponent had been repelled by his attack, Li Yunjing did not give them a chance to swarm him. He gathered his five elements magic power on his body and shot towards the right side of the encirclement!
There are only two enemies at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Realm here; the other dozens of cultivators are ordinary and not worth worrying about!

Li Yunjing shot out and instantly entered the crowd. His "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword" flew up and down, and in an instant, he cut more than a dozen Qi Refining Realm cultivators into pieces!

The magical artifacts these people used to defend themselves were also broken in two by Li Yunjing's sword.

For Li Yunjing, killing ordinary Qi Refining Realm cultivators was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables!
This sudden attack immediately caused a cacophony of screams and howls from Thirteen Flying Eagles' men.

No one expected Li Yunjing to be so brave, daring to launch an attack and break through the encirclement.

"Kill him! Don't hold back!"

The gaunt man at the Foundation Establishment stage spoke.

As the leader of the Thirteen Flying Eagles, he held immense prestige. With a single command, people from all around him swarmed and attacked Li Yunjing.

In the silent night, shouts of killing echoed through the darkness.

The three Foundation Establishment cultivators exchanged glances.

The gaunt man and the woman in red flashed away, each heading in a different direction, forming a three-way alliance with the black-clad leader to prevent Li Yunjing from breaking through.

"The Thirteen Flying Eagles are indeed formidable!"

Li Yunjing's expression was solemn. Even amidst the fighting in the crowd, he was still able to see in all directions and hear from all sides, and he noticed the movements of the Foundation Establishment Realm expert.

With this positioning, Li Yunjing would be met with a fierce attack from the opponent no matter which direction he tried to break through!
As for flying?

Li Yunjing dared not do it anymore; that would be a sitting duck!

In the crowd, the other party still had reservations, fearing that they might accidentally hurt their own people.

If he goes into the air and there are no human shields around, he will be focused down by the enemy and blown up in mid-air!

This is definitely not a wise choice!

"Kill!"

"Hack him!"

"Watch out, don't cut me!"

……

As time went on, more and more corpses appeared around Li Yunjing; almost all of the Thirteen Flying Eagles' subordinates had been killed or wounded.

His magical power was also rapidly depleting. At this moment, the young master seemed to see an opportunity to gain an advantage. He unfolded his folding fan and, with a "whoosh," nine poison needles shot directly towards Li Yunjing's back.

"Damn it! The Thirteen Flying Eagles are using their men's lives to deplete my magical power!"

He turned and dodged the nine poison needles. Then he heard the surrounding cultivators let out miserable cries, fall to the ground, and roll around incessantly.

In just a short while, their faces turned black and blue, and they stopped moving, clearly having died from poisoning.

The Thirteen Flying Eagles don't care about the lives of their men at all!

They were about to flee after killing Li Yunjing, so it was a good opportunity to purge their subordinates, consolidate the resources of these hundred or so people, and make their lives more comfortable overseas.

The cannon fodder below had no idea of ​​their respective leaders' wicked intentions.

Despite facing Li Yunjing's massacre, they still bravely charged forward, seemingly still immersed in the bright future promised by their leader.

After dealing with a few more moves, Li Yunjing's expression grew increasingly serious, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead.

We can't keep fighting like this!

Otherwise, even if he kills all these lackeys, he won't have much strength left to continue fighting the Thirteen Flying Eagles!

In particular, there are still three Foundation Establishment cultivators to deal with!
"Thunder in the Palm!"

At this moment, Li Yunjing killed one of the people in front of him, then suddenly turned around, his figure flashing like a ghost, and rushed towards the young master.

"protect me!"

Seeing this, the young master remained calm and roared. Immediately, several people appeared in front of him to help him block the way.

Clearly, this person held extremely high prestige among this group of ruthless bandits.

The other thirteen flying eagles also approached him and bombarded Li Yunjing with magic.

"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

Li Yunjing roared, and his "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword" slashed fiercely, knocking away the others.

Li Yunjing's left palm condensed, and with a "boom," a blinding bolt of lightning suddenly erupted, rushing towards the young master and shattering his fan-shaped magical artifact into pieces.

"broken!"

Everything happened too suddenly. Before the young master could react, the aftershocks of the "Palm Thunder" rushed into his body. The terrifying power of the thunder was frantically destroying his body tissues.

The young master has never cultivated thunder magic, nor does he have a thunder spiritual root.

Although this "palm lightning" wasn't particularly powerful, the lightning's force had entered his body, and even a young master like him couldn't withstand it head-on!
"puff……"

He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turned deathly pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans covered his entire body.

He hurriedly circulated his spiritual power to resist the lightning strike of the "Palm Thunder," but after all, he was not a top expert. Faced with the lightning magic of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect," his meridians were still constantly being damaged with a "crackling" sound!

"Save my thirteenth brother!"

Two Flying Eagle figures at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining rushed over, one on the left and one on the right, and slashed at Li Yunjing's waist and ribs!

These two strikes were the pinnacle of their attacks!
Its power was overwhelming!

Even a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Realm would die on the spot if struck by this blade!
"Dangdang..."

To their disappointment, when their top-grade magical weapon, the longsword, came slashing down, Li Yunjing not only used the "Azure Moon Daoist Robe" for defense, but also petrified his entire body with the "Heavenly Gang Stone Armor Technique".

The two slashes struck Li Yunjing, only producing a few sparks, but they did not cut through Li Yunjing's clothes or injure his body!
"Thunder in the Palm!"

Li Yunjing endured the dull force of the blade's strike, his palm hardened again, and he unleashed another attack on the young master!

In an instant, this "palm lightning" broke through the young master's magical defense and poured into his entire body.

"Crack!"

After being struck by lightning twice in a row, the once arrogant young master was instantly blasted into a charred mess by the "palm lightning," emitting a foul black smoke as he fell to the ground.

"what!"

"Thirteenth brother!"

The other two eagles were taken aback. They hadn't expected that one of them would perish here after only a quarter of an hour of fighting.

Seeing their brother die tragically, the other thirteen Flying Eagles, whether genuinely or feigning their sympathy, roared and charged at Li Yunjing!
"kill!"

Li Yunjing hardened his heart and mustered his remaining strength to strike repeatedly, killing several more cultivators.

At this moment, his face was slightly pale, and on the complex battlefield, he didn't even have time to collect the spoils of war.

He then took out a "flying talisman," which Li Yunjing instantly activated, condensing a pair of light wings that enveloped him. He then soared into the sky as a long, emerald-green rainbow.

Just now, there were hundreds of people surrounding and killing us, but now there are less than twenty left!

Under these circumstances, Li Yunjing faced less pressure when using the "flying talisman".

"Whoosh whoosh..."

One by one, hidden weapons and spells were activated and launched into the air!

Li Yunjing's wings flapped incessantly, changing shape repeatedly in the air.

Those who cannot avoid it will also be attacked by the "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword".

Some of the weaker attacks hit Li Yunjing, but thanks to the protection of the "Azure Moon Robe" and the "Heavenly Gang Stone Armor Technique," he wasn't seriously injured.

"Where do you think you're going, kid!"

Seeing that his attack missed, the black-clad leader flashed, a cloud of white rose from beneath his feet, lifting him up and shooting towards Li Yunjing!

In the other two directions, the woman in red was dancing gracefully, her body floating lightly into the air, surrounded by a cloud of red mist.

The thin man in hemp clothing pushed off the ground and sprang up like a sharp sword, radiating brilliant silver light, slashing towards Li Yunjing!

Foundation Establishment cultivators can fly entirely on their own!
It's like how birds are born knowing how to fly.

Without any pressure, this ability seemed innate, even faster and more agile than Li Yunjing's use of the "flying talisman".

"Li Yunjing must be killed! Kill him!"

Meanwhile, the other nine eagles, along with several cultivators, totaling more than a dozen people, each used their "flying talismans" to give chase.

Five cultivators remained. After a moment's hesitation, they also started running on the ground. Some even used the technique of levitation to move around in the air at low speeds. These people were not slow either.
